Great set. Nicely themed. That 1st pelican image looks distorted for some reason. Looks like the bird is all head. Is it just me?
Thanks, Ken.
The first pelican shot looks weird possibly because his throat pouch is inflated. Why, I do not know unless he has a pouchful of fish or something else. I did nothing to distort this image, however, it was taken at very close range (500mm with 1.4TC) and is almost full frame.

Especially love your wings up pelican! Great angle, clarity, dynamic pose. Super shots- all of them.

Great series of photographs. I think you're too concerned about something that should be of no concern. Your photos prove that.

For many wildlife photographers and photo contest judges, wings up or wings down is the generally preferred BIF wing orientation for most bird species.
Here are some recent shots which captured these wing positions. Feel free to comment.
